1Intended Use
CAUTION: US federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or other
qualified medical professional.
CAUTION: For external use only.
The AccuVein® AV300 is a portable, hand-held instrument that helps qualified medical professionals to locate certain peripheral veins. The AV300 is intended to be used only by qualified
medical personnel and as a supplement to appropriate medical training and experience. The AV300 should not be
used as the sole vein location method, and it is not a substitute for sound medical judgment and the visual and tactile location and assessment of veins.
When used properly, the AV300 accurately locates the vein and is therefore suitable for locating peripheral veins in
connection with medical procedures such as venipuncture.
The AV300 can be used whenever peripheral vein location is appropriate.
2Product Description
The AV300 operates by using infrared light to detect veins beneath the skin, then illuminating the position of the
veins on the skin surface directly above the veins. Qualified medical personnel can observe the displayed vasculature to assist them in finding a vein of the right size and position for venipuncture.
The AV300 only shows peripheral veins. The maximum depth that veins are displayed varies by subject. In addition,
certain subject’s veins or a portion of their veins might not be displayed well or at all. Causes for veins to not be displayed include vein depth, skin conditions (e.g., eczema, tattoos), hair, highly contoured skin surface, and adipose
(fatty) tissue.
Veins are shown because the hemoglobin in blood preferentially absorbs IR light. Because of this, the vasculature
that is displayed represents the contents of the veins and not the entire vein.
When held directly overhead, the AV300 locates the center of a vein with extreme accuracy. Increasing the displacement from directly overhead results in an offset in the displayed vein position.
WARNING: AV300 vein location is dependent on a variety of patient factors and may not display veins on patients
with deep veins, skin conditions, hair, scarring or other highly contoured skin surface, and adipose (fatty) tissue.
The AV300 is not intended to be used as the sole method for locating veins, but should be used either prior to palpation to help identify the location of a vein, or afterwards to confirm or refute the perceived location of a vein.
When using the AV300, qualified medical personnel should always follow the appropriate protocols and practices required by their medical facility.
The AV300 requires no routine or preventative maintenance.
WARNING: Users should inspect the AV300 to ensure that it is sufficiently clean before each use. For more information see section on cleaning in this document.
The AV300 is portable, internally powered by battery, and approved for continuous operation. The AV300 is considered a Type B applied part and is not protected from ingress of water.
WARNING: Do not immerse the AV300, the AV300 charging cradle, or the AV300 hands-free stand in liquid or get
the AV300 or its components so wet that liquid spills off.

6Using the AV300
CAUTION: Federal law restricts this device to sale by or on the order of a physician or other qualified medical pro-
fessional.
CAUTION: For external use only.
Below is an overview of how to use the AV300 to locate and assess veins, followed by important details on properly
positioning the device, and recommended techniques for optimizing vein display.
Basic Steps
Before using the AV300 on a subject, read all warnings and cautions at the beginning of this manual.
WARNING: The AV300 enables location of certain peripheral veins, and it is not a substitute for sound medical
judgment based on the visual and tactile location and assessment of veins. The AV300 should be used only as a
supplement to the judgment of a qualified medical professional.
WARNING: The AV300 should only be operated when its battery is sufficiently charged (indicated when the battery icon at the upper right of the LCD screen shows a bar), or when the device is operated in a powered hands-free
stand to ensure AV300 is available for use.
WARNING: Do not shine vein display light in eyes.
CAUTION: The AV300 vein display light comes from two low-power lasers, a red laser at 642 nm and an IR laser at
785 nm. For subjects with ordinary blink reflexes, these Class 2 lasers are safe because the blink reflex limits exposure
and prevents eye damage. However, there is a possibility that eyes of subjects with reduced blink reflexes can be
damaged by staring directly into the AV300 light.
CAUTION: Blink reflexes can be inhibited or reduced by disease, drugs, or other medical conditions. For subjects
who might have inhibited or reduced blink reflexes, AccuVein recommends outfitting the subject with a protective
eye shield. A protective eye shield capable of blocking 642 nm and 785 nm should be used. A commercially available, laser-safe eye shield that’s suitable for eye protection is the “Glendale Laser-Aid Eye Shield.” Glendale™ and Laser-Aid® are trademarks of their respective owners.
1. Power On the AV300 by pressing the rightmost circular Power button beneath the LCD screen. This turns on the
device but does not activate the vein display light.
2. To begin locating and assessing veins, turn the vein display light on by pressing the Blue side button.
Tip: As a convenience, you can power on the AV300 and activate the vein display light at the same time by pressing
the Blue side button to power on the device, instead of the circular Power button.
3. Position the AV300 so the vein display light illuminates your subject’s skin.
WARNING: To ensure accurate vein display, the AV300 must be positioned at a proper height, angle, and centering
over the vein to be assessed, as described in the positioning instructions, below.
4. The AV300 has several settings that can optimize vein display for particular patients and procedures. While the
vein display light is on and the device is properly positioned over the subject’s skin, lightly tap the Blue side button to cycle through each setting and find the one that best locates your subject’s veins. For details, see Vein Display
Settings on page 8.
5. To halt vein display, press the Blue side button for 1/2 (one-half) second to turn the vein display light off (this
leaves the LCD screen on for performing menu functions). Pressing the Left LCD button accomplishes the same
thing. Or press and hold the Blue side button for 2 seconds to turn the entire device off.

Our hours of service are monday through Friday 8 am to 8 pm Us Central time.
Positioning the AV300
WARNING: To view vein location accurately, you must position the Av300 at the proper height and angle, and directly over the center of the vein being assessed.
For accurate vein presentation, the Av300 must be positioned at a proper height, angle, and centering over the vein
being located. Once the device is properly positioned, you can vary aspects of its position slightly to enhance vein
presentation. However, for accurate vein presentation, the device must be positioned as follows:
•
Height: Approximately 7 inches from the bottom of the device to the surface of the skin
•
Angle: At a right angle (perpendicular) to vein direction
•
Centering: Centered directly over the vein being located
Height
Position the Av300 about 7 inches (180 mm) directly above the vein to be
located, and at a right angle (perpendicular) to the direction of the veins.
The Av300’s vein display quality can then often be improved by slightly increasing or decreasing the height.
WARNING: Depending on the distance the Av300 is held from the subject’s skin the vein may appear slightly wider or narrower than the actual
vein.
UM-English-DVD.indd 5
9/28/11 10:01 PM

|
Av300 User mAnUAl
Angle
The Av300 should be positioned at an approximate 90° right angle (perpendicular) to the direction the vein flows or is expected to flow. You can
then often improve display quality by changing this angle slightly.
To assess a new vein location, always return the device to a 90° right angle
to start.
Centering
The Av300’s vein display light should be centered directly above the
centerline of the vein to be located.
To present the center of the vein accurately, Accuvein recommends positioning the Av300 directly over the vein. When the Av300 is positioned
properly, vein display is accurate and can be viewed from any angle.
When held directly over the centerline of the vein the Av300 locates the
center of a vein extremely accurately. Accuvein recommends that the
Av300 be held within 1/2” (1.25 cm) of either side of directly overhead.
The Av300 vein display is always in focus, so you can quickly move the
device across a subject’s skin to search for a vein. As you evaluate and assess a vein that has been located, it is important to center the Av300 over
the vein and not rotate the device to either side.

Techniques and Recommendations
Become familiar with proper use: Before using the AV300 on a subject, the experienced medical practitioner
should become familiar with how to properly position the AV300 to best detect veins. Do so by following the instructions in this manual and using the practice card included with the device.
Also, before first use, AccuVein recommends comparing how the AV300 detects veins, by using a visible vein as a reference or a vein assessed by palpation. Note that when using an AV300, the position of veins and branches can be
assessed and you can also observe where veins do not appear.
Optimize vein display: Once the AV300 is properly positioned over the vein to be located, you can often enhance
the quality of vein display by rotating the AV300 slightly on its axis, moving the device closer or farther from the skin,
and changing the vein display settings. Note that the same setting might present veins differently on different people. It’s therefore important to become familiar with selecting the best setting for each type of patient and procedure. For details, see Vein Display Settings on page 8.
Target the center of the vein: When properly positioned, the AV300 accurately displays the center of the vein.
Some vein display settings might make a vein appear wider than it actually is. However, even if the displayed vein
width is enlarged, when the AV300 is operated properly, the center of the displayed vein matches the center of the
actual vein.

| Av300 User manual
Do not hold the AV300 during a manual procedure: Once the desired vein and location are selected, an assistant should hold the device so both of the practitioner’s hands remain free to perform the venipuncture procedure.
The AV300 can also be used in an optional hands-free stand.
Adjust room lighting if necessary: Changing room lighting may help the user better see the vein display.
WARNING: Do not hold the AV300 while performing venipuncture or other medical procedure.
WARNING: The AV300 only shows peripheral veins.
WARNING: Certain subject’s veins or a portion of their veins might not be displayed well or at all. Causes for veins
to not be displayed include veins deeper than about 7mm, skin conditions, hair, highly contoured skin surface, and
adipose (fatty) tissue.
WARNING: The AV300 does not indicate vein depth underneath the skin, which can vary from patient to patient.
The AV300 operator should therefore rely on their training and experience to identify vein depth and evaluate other
information provided by the AV300.
Vein Display Settings
Because individuals and their veins vary, the AV300 provides multiple vein display settings that can optimize how
veins are displayed on different people or for different procedures. While locating and assessing a vein, you can cycle
through the different settings to quickly find one that works best to locate and view your subject’s veins. The same
setting might present veins differently on different people, so it’s important to become familiar with selecting the
best setting for each type of patient and procedure.
To select a vein display setting:
1. Turn the vein display light On by pressing the Blue side button. This initially selects the default vein display setting, which is shown on the LCD screen. To have the AV300 initially select a different setting, you can change the default as described on page 14.
2. Position the AV300 over the vein to be assessed. Then while the vein display light is On, lightly tap the Blue side
button to step through each setting.
NOTE:
You can also select vein display settings using the LCD screen. While the vein display light is On, the screen displays
the current setting. To select another setting, press the Middle LCD button to cycle through the available settings.
WARNING: Some vein display settings might make a vein appear wider than it actually is.

When used under normal conditions, the AV300 battery BA300 needs to be replaced about every two years. Longer
charge cycles, shorter operating periods, and Bad Battery alert are all indications that the battery needs replacing.
The BA300 battery is not to be removed or replaced in the patient environment, or within 1.5m or 5 ft. of the patient.
BAD BATTERY
To replace the battery, open the battery compartment on the back of the device. Use a screwdriver or edge of a
small coin as a tool to remove the screw.
The BA300 battery can easily be removed from the battery compartment or inserted, as its shape matches the
AV300 battery compartment.
CAUTION: Be careful not to touch or scratch the window and lenses also on the back of the device. If the vein display light window is scratched the vein display may be affected.
Verifying charge of a replacement battery
When an AV300 battery is not installed in a device, you can still check its charge by inserting a pen or paper clip in
the small hole in the battery (see photo on next page). A green light indicates the battery is charged for at least 30
minutes of normal operation.
WARNING: Keep battery out of reach of children
CAUTION: Use AccuVein approved battery charging accessories and batteries only. The AccuVein BA300 battery
pack has been designed for the AV300. If the AV300 will not be used for extended time, remove and store battery.

8 Using a Hands-Free stand
To keep both hands free while performing a medical procedure, without having an assistant hold the device for
you, you can use a hands-free stand. Accuvein optionally
provides both a powered and unpowered stand that each
allow the user to properly position the Av300 and locate
the subject’s veins, without having to hold the device.
The Av300 operates the same in a hands-free stand as
when held by hand.
nOe: Hands-free stands are available from the Accuvein Web site. Also check the site for additional hands-free options that may be made available.
• Powered Hands-Free Stand (HF300):
Powers the Av300, and if a battery is installed, charges the battery.
• Unpowered Hands-Free Stand (HF320 / HF350):
The Av300 runs solely on battery power and must be charged in its charging cradle, the same as when using the
device without a hands-free stand.
To use a hands-free stand, first attach its clamp or screw-mount stud in a desired location, such as the rail of a bed,
edge of a table, or chair arm. Once securely mounted, snap the hands-free coupler onto the stud and press the black
ring down to lock. (see instructions that came with stand for more details.) The arm should now swivel freely.
HF300 Only: Plug power supply into power outlet and plug cord jacks together.
Attaching the AV300
To install the Av300 in the hands-free stand, rotate the device so its base end (with
the metal battery connectors) is facing the connector, with the Av300 lCD screen
pointing up. ease the device into the stand’s cup so the clips snap into the recesses
on the side of the Av300. When the clips are properly attached, you will hear a click
when they engage with the Av300, which should then be held firmly in place.
HF300 Only: Follow the instructions that came in the HF300 kit box for attaching the Av300 permanently to the
hands-free stand with a screw (supplied with kit).
When the Av300 is placed into a powered stand, a tone sounds and the battery indicator
changes to a plug, indicating that the Av300 does not require battery power. During this
time, the Av300’s battery is also being charged.
ER-1
CAUTION: Use only Accuvein brand powered stands.
Viewing

UM-English-DVD.indd 12
When placed in the unpowered stand, the battery indicator shows how much battery life
is left, just as when you use the Av300 as a hand-held device.

Positioning the AV300
Once the AV300 is safely installed in a hands-free stand, you can position the device as needed. For accurate vein
location, position the device at the proper height, angle, and centering over the subject’s veins. Use the same positioning
techniques as described earlier in this manual for using the device by hand.
WARNING: The AV300 must be positioned at a proper height, angle and centering to perform accurate vein locating.
When the AV300 is placed into a powered stand, a tone sounds and the battery indicator changes to a plug, indicating
that the AV300 does not require battery power. During this time, the AV300’s battery is also being charged.
CAUTION: Use only AccuVein brand powered stand.

The Warranties with respect to any Equipment shall remain in effect for the following period of time after delivery of
the Equipment to the Customer Site (the “Warranty Period”): (1) twelve (12) months for each AccuVein vein illumination
device; (2) ninety (90) days for any battery; and (3) twelve (12) months for all other Equipment.
Notice of Warranty Claim
If at any time during the applicable Warranty Period the Customer believes that the Equipment does not comply with
any of the Warranties, the Customer shall promptly notify AccuVein. If the Customer does not provide that notice within the Warranty Period, the Customer shall not have any right to claim that the Equipment does not comply with the
Warranties. The Customer shall inspect the Equipment promptly after delivery to the Customer Site and promptly notify AccuVein of any alleged breach of any Warranties or any errors relating to the delivery of the Equipment.
Repairs and Replacements
Except as provided in the IP Infringement paragraph below, if within the applicable Warranty Period the Customer
notifies AccuVein that any Equipment does not comply with any of the Warranties and if in fact the Equipment does
not comply with any of the Warranties (not caused by misuse or abuse), AccuVein shall, at AccuVein’s election and expense, either i) repair, or ii) replace, or iii) rework the Equipment, including having the Equipment shipped to AccuVein
(at AccuVein’s expense). The Customer shall comply with AccuVein’s standard procedures and requirements relating
to the return of any Equipment; among other things, the Customer shall not return any Equipment to AccuVein without first obtaining a return authorization from AccuVein. If after a reasonable period of time AccuVein does not repair,
replace or rework the Equipment so that it complies with the Warranties, AccuVein shall refund the purchase price of
that Equipment to the Customer, and the Customer shall (at AccuVein’s expense) return the Equipment to AccuVein.
IP Infringement
In the event that any third party makes any claim (including the commencement of any legal action) against the Customer, AccuVein or any other party alleging that any patents, software or other proprietary rights of AccuVein utilized
or embodied in any Equipment that is a vein illumination device infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property or
proprietary rights of that third party, then AccuVein shall have the right in its discretion either (1) to take action which
will secure the right of the Customer to continue to utilize the Equipment, at no additional cost to the Customer, or (2)
to modify the Equipment in order to eliminate the basis for such an action or claim, at no cost to the Customer, provided that such Equipment, as so modified, will continue to conform to the specifications provided in writing by AccuVein to Customer for that Equipment, or (3) if neither (1) nor (2) is commercially reasonable or practicable, refund the
full purchase price of the Equipment, without further liability of AccuVein.
Exclusive Remedies
The remedies set forth in this description of the Standard Warranty (and, for US Standard Warranty, the “Spare-in-theAir” Warranty Program below) are the SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE remedies for any breach of any of the Warranties.

“Spare-in-the-Air” Program
The provisions of the “spare in the air program” shall apply only to US customers eligible for standard US warranty.
If the Customer has a Standard US Warranty, then in addition to the remedies set forth in description of the Standard
Warranty, Repairs and Replacements program above, the Customer is eligible to participate in AccuVein’s “Spare-inthe Air” program for any Equipment that is an AccuVein Vein Illumination Device. Under that program, if the Customer believes that such a device does not comply with the Warranties during the Warranty Period and after consultation
AccuVein issues a return authorization to the Customer, then AccuVein will promptly ship to the Customer for next-day
delivery a new or like-new device even before the Customer returns to AccuVein the original device that the Customer believes does not comply with the Warranties. The Customer can use that device until the Customer receives back
from AccuVein the Customer’s original device (or, if necessary, a replacement device) that complies with the Warranties. In order to participate in that program, the Customer must comply with the procedures established by AccuVein
for that program. AccuVein reserves the right to modify that program from time to time.
18Limitation of Liability
In no event shall either AccuVein or the customer be liable to the other for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages (including without limitation lost profits or lost business opportunity) that the other party may incur by reason of its having entered into or relied on a purchase or lease agreement, or arising out of the performance
or breach of such an agreement, even if the party against whom a claim is made was advised or knew of the possibility of such damages. The foregoing limitation shall apply regardless of the form of the claim in which such liability may
be asserted, including breach of contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise.
